if it isn't going completely off, then the amps are not over heating and going into protection mode. I would go with the general concensus here and say bad ground.

after that last post im gonna go with ground also....i never ground to the seat...its always best to strip an area to the paint and using a self tapping screw and star washer screw the o-ring (you have one on the end of your ground right?) to metal....

My money is on bad ground. Try to ground it to the chassis of the car too, if possible.

Thanks to all for the Help, actually im going to check the ground, like u say, also my Car is a Hyundai Elantra, and i think it have a 75 amp alt.
The ground wires i connected to the Chasis of the Seat, i dont know if it gets too hot, or what, but im going to check; also the sound just decreases, its nbot turning completly off, and the impendance its the corretc (i think), 4 ohm, for each amp, Thanks again for all the help, and keep replying, THANK U ALL

could be improper impedence at the sub amp also.....if the impedence temporarily drops below that of the amps ability it could do what you are describing........

Does the bass totally turn off, or just decrease in volume?

by JeremyC » Mon Dec 26, 2005 12:26 pm

That or just shake the wire as your listening, and see if the sound changes.

after you run your system for a while and the bass decreases check and see if your cables are hot like the ground at the grounding point. if its hot then you have a bad ground.

by JeremyC » Mon Dec 26, 2005 11:13 am

Hmmmm, something telse me its a bad grounding point. Where is your ground wire connected, and how?

by High Society » Mon Dec 26, 2005 11:02 am

and i changed it for Monster Cables
Those cables would sound the same as say wal-mart RCA's, your just paying for a name right there.
the bass decrease, and its with various songs, i cant figure out how to describe it; it just like if you were listening some song, and suddenly your bass go out, but after a few seconds it returns, and after a few more seconds, it go out again, and like that


What kinda car are you driving? If say you have a honda civic, with an 80 amp alt, When listening to your system does your lights dim badly? If so, I'm sure those two amps are pulling about that much. You should upgrade your electrical system. I'll let you know that sony isn't to reliable. You might want to lose that inferior equipment.
